wanted to know if anyone knew what was best spraypaint for painting the motor and tranny so it looks like stock color.

 

I use silver caliper paint. it makes it look like new. plus its high temp and if oil or anything gets on it, it wipes right off.

 

What color do you want to paint it?

 

thanks any specific brand?

 

idk a silver...whatever closest the stock block color looks like?

 

get the engine enamel that they sell at any parts store, autozone, advance. get the duplicolor engine enamel, the color is aluminum, looks really good

 

alright cool thanks...have you seen anyone paint the intake manifold as well?

 

i just get it from autozone. I believe its duplicolor. It comes out really nice and is the only paint ive ever seen hold up to the heat and chemicals.

 

thanks for everyones help! just wondering if anyone has seen someone spray this on their intake manifold? if so how did it come out?

 

ive seen people spray theres black, dont know if they did it right or not but from what ive seen regular paint wont stick to it it just flakes off, i would suggest just cleaning the **** out of it or sand blasting it

 

i wouldn't paint the intake manifold. i use purple power and a toothbrush and scrub it goo and rinse it off with water. it comes out like brand new

 

u need VERY high temperature ceramic coated paint

for headers if ur painting ur manifold

 

intake manifold, not exhaust manifold

 

alright cool thanks guys. im going to clean the **** out of it! and for the block do i scuff it up a little or could i just spray it on as is?

 

i clean mine with purple power( haha love clean **** with this stuff? and then i use brake clean to rinse everything off. tape anything off you dont want painted after that just paint away.

 

thanks man

 

purple power works great. i use it as well.
